Estimation of Genetic Parameters of Body Weight and Body Size in Different Stages of Pishan Red Sheep.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As a dual-purpose (meat and fat) coarse-wool sheep breed in Xinjiang, the Pishan Red sheep exhibits year-round estrus and excellent reproductive performance. The aim of this study was to systematically estimate the genetic parameters of growth traits in Pishan Red sheep at each stage from 0 to 12 months of age, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing early selection indices for this breed. Year of birth, type of birth, and sex were included as fixed effects, while maternal genetic effects and individual additive genetic effects were treated as random effects. A multi-trait animal model was constructed using DMU software to analyze the genetic parameters. The results showed that for growth traits at 0 months of age, heritability ranged from 0.09 to 0.64, genetic correlations from -0.03 to 0.84, and phenotypic correlations from 8.2 × 10
